peacock grouping?

[bandedangel]

new to the mantis world and was thinking of setting up a new system for a mantis. Question being, can you put more than 1 / or a few together in the same system??

I dont think it is recommended unless you have a large system. Mantis are very territorial and will likely kill the other when it molts.

i have a 40G and it wont work and dr. roy said that it widll just not work out, the other one will hunt down the other one and kill it, the only way i could see it working maybe is with an enormous tank of at least 125 gallons with two rock piles on complete opposite sides and nothing else in the middle

my new mantis killed my old mantis w/in 24 hrs of placing them together in 1 tank.
